JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Former NFL head coach Dom Capers has joined Jacksonville's coaching staff as senior defensive assistant, returning to the Jaguars two decades after his first stint with the team.

The team says Capers will work closely with defensive coordinator Todd Wash and the other assistants on that side of the ball.

Capers served as Jacksonville's defensive coordinator from 1999-2000 under current executive Tom Coughlin.
